JOHN OPDENWEYER
Livingston Parish, Louisiana

     JOHN OPDENWEYER, of Head of Island, Amite River, Livingston Parish,

bought out all the cypress timber on that stream, amounting in all to

over sixty million feet.  This gives him exclusive control of that river.

This same gentleman, the owner of the finest saw-mill on that river, has

made some great improvements in the changes of and addition of new

machinery.  The old circular saw has been removed and a band saw

substitued.  This will allow him to turn out a most perfect smaller size

of lumber.


H. WESTON LUMBER COMPANY

     The H. WESTON LUMBER COMPANY, at Log Town, Pearl River, after tying

up for thirty days, having added new machinery, and making many other

beneficial changes, resumed business, with a large number of orders

ahead, and a good supply of timber.


L.N. DANTZLER LUMBER COMPANY

     The L.N. DANTZLER LUMBER COMPANY, Moss Point, Miss., has closed 

down for the past month, in order to make the necessary repairs and

changes in time to be ready for the anticipated coming busy season.


A. KERGOSIEN

     A. KERGOSIEN, on Rotten Bayou, Hancock County, Miss., is having

his splendid sawmill refitted and put in first class order.
